The only means of commu-

Elizabeth, who seemingly un-

which nobody could under

cry when she was hungry and

her mother did not know what
child wanted, but Minnie
took her by the hand and led
her to the cupboard, pointing

She received a piece of bread
to appease her hunger, and
from that day ou she called it

Sam Jones is a compact, wiry,
small-eyed man, who
be happiest when he is telling
people their sins 'in the plain
eat of plain English. He de-
nounces his hearers to their
faces, shows them how utterly
sinful and depraved they are,
calls them all the names he
can think of—and his vocabu
lary is not limited—points
tbem out with his finger, and
sometimes calls them by name.
He is as rough as a frontiers-
man ; but those who know
him best say he is as tender as
a child. He says the meanest
man in Georgia iB his wife's
husband; but his wife does
not agree with him, for she
snys she hai the best husband
in the world. Sam Jones never
hesitates to crack jokes in the
pulpit and it is proven that his
style of preaching is popular
from the faot that he makes
twenty-five thousand dollars a
year. He spends most of his
money in charity.—Exchange

Henry Ward Beecher was

who oalled it "gush," and
"slopping over." He replied*
"I suppose I do slop over
sometimes.
Well, I never saw a pan full

There will be no slopping

"A man who has only a pint

His father, Dr. Lyman Beech
er, had befi iended a man who
turned against him. and acted
very meanly. One day the
father, having heard of the
man's meanness, came home
very muoh ex«"it.-d. Instead of
"blowing out," he raised his
hand, and bringing it down em-
phatically but slowly, said:
"Well, when I have acted
tonorably toward a man, and
be goes away aud acts meanly
toward me, I am never

urn!" Youth's Co
spilling seems to have come to exam
Ijing into her case, and it re-
language and took ber home
again. He was now thorough-
ly aroused to the faot that he
had a child who talked a queer
sort of language of her own,and
that she couldn't learn to Bpeak
the language of the land by any
ordinary m6ans. He thought
that her organs of speech
might be imperfect.
He journeyed to Pittsburg,
taking the child with him, and
consulted several physicians.
They told him that there was
neither physically nor men-
tally anything the matter with
her. That was all I he consola-
tion he received besides the
laff if there was a corpse in the
house. It's too durned funny
for any thing—ha!—ba!—ha!"
Aud he yelled and whooped
until be could have been heard
half a mile. When be sober-
ed up a little I asked :
"Is there a joke in this some-
where ?"
"Is there? Whoop! I should
say there was! Go in the
house aud you'll find the old
woman nigh dead with laffin "
"Well, what is it?"
"You see, Ben got married
about three months ago. Pur-
tv good boy, but inclined to be
tricky. He married a purty
fair gal, but she's dreadfully
ambitious. They cum home to
live and about a month ago
wauted me'n the old woman to
deed ovtr the farm to them and
be taken keer of the rest of our
lives. We didn't like the
idea, but they hung to it, and
so last week I made out a deed
and handed it over. It wasn't
a deed describin' this farm, but
some other farm, though it
looked all reg'lar nnff."
"You doubted their faith,

"I kinder did, and so—hn!
ha! ha! Say, stranger, don't
think hard of me, but I've got
to laff or bust. Just tickles
me way back to my "«houlder
blades!"
He went off into another fit,
and when he got liia breath
again he continued:
"This mornin' was the sixth
day since they got the deed.
As soon as breakfast was over
Ben said they'd to git along
without our valued company
and suggested as it was nine
miles to the poor house we
make an early start. He in
tended to turn us smack out
doors without a dollar, but he
got left. I told him he'd better
look into the deed a bit, and
he went to town and diskivered
the trick I had played. You

came back ! Why, why—
And he larghed again until
I had to pat him on the back
to prevent a catastrophe.

The deaf lady, thinking he

was very annoying, replied:
"Yes, sir, very much indeed,

How Is This ?
I came near losing my life
the first time I droye to Indian-
apolis," he remarked. "I was
a boy of twelve years, and
father had sent me to the city
with a load of wood. In those
primitive years we used raw-
hide for traces, instead of
leather or chains. On the
journey a heavy rain began,
and I stopped at a country
store for shelter, leaving my
team in the road. Happening
to look out, I saw the wagon,
but no horses. Their tracks
showed me that they had gone
rapidly down the road. I
started in pursuit, supposing
some one had played a practi-
cal joke on me by turning my
horses loose. I tracked them
until I came to the brink of a
creek, The biidge had been
washed away and the banks
were steep, I gave a run and
tried to jump over, but, finding
when in air that I could not
make the further shore, I re-
considered, deftly turned my-
self

from which I had jti
ret racked myself to the store,
and by-and-by the sun came
out strong and hot. Happen-
ing to glance at my wagoc, I
saw at onse how I had been de-
ceived. The rain had softened
my raw bide traces until they
stretched indefinitely. The
horses had gone on, stretching
out the traces so fine that I
could not see them. Presently
I saw the horses backing down
the road toward the wagon."
